At the same time that you are creating the new pages for your students, you will be adding them to the wiki archive. Also, you will be updating the links on the navigation panel of the wiki to show the new student pages for the current term and removing past student pages (although they will still appear in the archive).
Create new section in the archive:
Type “ARCHIVE” in the search box to locate the student archive. Click on the link to the ARCHIVE page that appears in the list.(or go directly to the archive page using the URL: your wikispaces address/ARCHIVE
Viewing the ARCHIVE page, click “EDIT”.
Type a new Header at the top of the page. For example: “Spring, 2012”
Below the header, create a “List of Wiki Pages” tagged by your current term. Do this using either the Visual Editor (WYSIWYG) or the Wikitext (HTML) editor.
Below are visual cues for either editor that you choose to use.
Edit in Visual Editor:
Edit in Visual Editor
Click on "Widget", choose "List of WIki Pages"
Indicate the TAG for the term and year you are archiving using two letters indicating the term (i.e. fa=fall, sp=spring, su=summer) and two digits indicating the year. (ie, 11 = 2011) NO SPACES
Click “Save”.
OR

Create new student/team pages:
Naming and tagging new pages is very important. Every term the new pages must bear names unique from previous terms. It is suggested to include the term and year. For example, Team 1 – Spring, 2011. Tagging allows you to organize pages from the same term and section. This is how the pages will be organized in the archive. It also gives you an easy way to pull up a unique list in the “pages” section of the “Manage Wiki”. It is recommended that the new pages for students be tagged with two letters from the term (fa=fall, sp=spring, su=summer) and two digits from the year. (2011 = 11). So a tag example might be; fa12, su11, etc.
To create new pages for students or teams, do the following:
Click “New Page”.
Enter new page name in the text box.
enter the tag for current term in “Add Tags” text box.
Click “Create”.
Repeat for as many pages as you would like.
